Although before my time, I do recognise the building and location of the first photo. It's the end-of-terrace house on the row of Eastbridge Road (no.1) and the army nissan hut is what used to be the changing rooms in East Side recreation ground. So it's taken from just inside the recreation ground looking back towards the back of Eastbridge Road.

I have never seen this photo before, I am the young lad in the back row. The fairy with the basket is my niece Janice Gough, she became Janice Bell, and retired from the High Street Post Office this year,(2008). Bert Lillywhite one of the local coal merchants is standing on the far left and my sister June Gough can just be seen kneeling behind Janice.

I saw this photo on a leaflet at the doctors and at first I thought it was my nan Mrs Russell, then realised it is my great nan Mrs Fairman. I will send a copy to her daughter in Canada, my Great auntie Queenie married a Canadian soldier.

The lady with the glasses on I believe is Edie Feast.

In the top picture the house on the right, 1, Eastbridge Road was the home of Mr and Mrs Coombs and Derek. We used to know the large central building as 'The Ice Cream Parlour', I have no idea why! In the second picture I believe the girl 2nd right is Gloria Naylor.
